By definition, racists judge people by stereotyping them according to race, by assuming that all black people have big lips and like fried chicken, that all Asians are inscrutable, or that all Italians are mobsters. There are as many stereotypes as there are categories of human being: women, tall people, fat people, Christians, Jews, Gays, people of a certain nationality or even people from a certain region of one’s own country. If you judge people by stereotype you are practicing prejudice, of which racism is one kind.
